Full program of 22nd Antiracist Festival Athens

The 22nd Antiracist Festival on 28th, 29th and 30th of June, at Goudi Park, is a 3-day celebration where we meet, we discuss, we sing and dance, and we have fun. “Locals” and “foreigners”, passionate to live together, to organize the struggle against the cruelty and to honor the priceless gift of life.

28th, 29th and 30th of June. It is in the darkness that the stars shine! It is the people of the resistance that can light the way out. It is our will power to say the big “no” to racism, to the anti-immigrant policies, to fascists, the one that can challenge the gloom. It is the fight for equal rights and justice that can bring hope back to life, to make the stars shine in the darkness!

CONCERTS

Three days, three simultaneous stages, three unique live experiences

Music is one and at the same time it contains multitudes. With this idea, we created the musical program of the Antiracist Festival. Live concerts for all tastes, in three stages so every day can be a cohesive musical experience.

Friday, 28th of June

The first day of the festival will turn the Park to a big outdoor dancefloor. A wandering through electronic music that will start from versatile dance sound and will end up to new wave rave!

KITCHEN

We set the table at the 22nd Antiracist Festival with flavors from 20 countries

The best way to get to get closer with another person, is to sit with on a set table. The best way to get in touch with any popular culture is to taste the local cuisine. Because since the beginning of Humanity’s time, people came together around a steaming pot, where stories are narrated. Because ever since human beings can remember themselves the image of peace and happiness is identified with a set table..

At the 22nd Antiracist Festival we set a huge multi-cultural table, all of us, all together; refugees, migrants, locals. A table full of flavors and traditional dishes coming from 20 different countries where we can all fit in.
